The Plan...

I'm guessing if you looked at the "Before Pictures" you are wondering why I would ever buy such a place.  Well, after some self-convincing and thought, I decided it does have potential, the price was right, and the location is pretty nice too!

The Ugly Lake House is located just below and to the left of the thumb tack.

The loan I got for the house allows for money to put towards a renovation or rehab project.  It's called a FHA 203k and mainly used for houses that are foreclosed and neglected just as The Ugly Lake House has been. 

The plan of action is as follows:

• Kitchen renovation including a massive island with a bar counter top
• New first floor windows
• New boiler, water heater, and water softner
• New flooring through out
• Closing off the Den Area with a wall and french doors.
• Bathroom renovations with a new shower, tub, and vanities.
• Addition of gutters for the roof 
• Remove the chain link fence
• Update the landscaping
• Build a Patio
• And a few more projects that I'm sure will come up
